Cannot create subservers

I am creating a new server from scratch and transferring into it backups from a Ubuntu 16.04 server that has Webmin 1.972 and Virtualmin 6.14 on it. I have transferred my initial domain - which has no browsable site on it - and a subserver/subdomain that is the real focus of the domain. The “restore” processes worked without error. I have done a Re-Check Configuration and everything passes.

The subdomain in question is able to display an image, but when I try to load a php file containing only phpinfo(); I get: File not found. Apache error log says: AH01071: Got error ‘Primary script unknown’.

I am presuming I have an error in my site apache .conf file, and I have solved this in the past by creating a new subserver from scratch, with Virtualmin able to generate a valid .conf file. I would then compare the differences to see what’s suspicious. However creation of the subserver fails with this output:

When I check the file system, the directory /home/account/domains/test.account.org doesn’t exist. It never got created despite the 'Creating home directory ..
.. done" in the progress log.

What’s going on?

Disk space (maybe quotas) or memory, probably.

Yep! This server has quotas, the last one didn’t. I’ve disabled them and I can create subservers.
